We Are Ready.

As will be seen on inspection, the
house OF s. Mayer IS stocked full Of an
elegant array Of fashionable dress goods
In all the latest tints, designs and fan
cies. Mr.. and Mrs. Mayer, while In the
east, let no chance escape them to pro-
cure the best and choicest dress goods.
Counters and shelves show their efforts
and tastes we're more than usually cred
liable. At the same time, though ex-
peoting to realize quickly on their large
purchases, they were not slow In appre-
Chatting the stringency OF the times, and
therefore they screwed" down prices
far below what would be fair value for
the goods. Look at their all wool A.
inch Scotch tweeds, 62c yard; all wool,
double width serge, SIC yard; double
width French disgonals, all wool, 4Sc
per yard. And when you are in town
call on s. Mayer and see the fine effects
in velvet combinations snd special dress
patterns, and II you want anything he
will sell IL to you right.

The Bethel Case.

The district court was crowded this
morning with people, anxious to hear
some of the spicy evidence In the case
OF Beitel VS.. Beitel. Nearly all the law
yers Of the city had seats within the bar,
and a broad grin Illuminated their faces
when anything unusually spicy came
out. Outside the bar was a molly group
who watched keenly all that occurred.
The fair plaintiff smiled as sweetly as
ever, and the lawyers were sharply at
tending to their business. Considerable
testimony WAS adduCed, but there was
nothing material; the evidence mainly
confirming testimony already given.

The Grand Jury to Come.

The air is filled with runors Of what
the grand jury intend to do In their next
innings. The dead letters upon the
statute books of this state are to be
made living oraoles and all are to be
brought to book who do not follow very
plainly in the paths marked out by legis-
latiye enactment. Such at least Is the
general report. Judge Noonan lie by no
means inclined to permit the law obnox-
ious as 1t confessedly is in some particu-
lars to be ignored and that law must be
either obeyed or repealed. This is
right. Laws are supposed to be rules
of conduct given by authority. The
legislature is that authority, and II a fool
legislature enacts obnoxious laws, it Its
because fool constituency have put
them there. The one remedy is rigid
enforcement of law.

A Step in the Right Direction.

The Pharmaceutical association had
an Interesting meeting last night which
was well attended. The main topic for
discussion was the necessity OF selling
all drugs at the recognized standard
pharmacopial strength, and 1t was
generally agreed that this should be
done. Nothing is more important than
this, because drugs are prescribed of
pharmRcopial strength, and If there is
any deficiency, 1t mast have lees effect
upon the person using them.

WINTER FOOD FOR POULTRY.

Winter foods for poultry-which are
the best depends on circumstances. If
you have lot of Young, immature stock
which you wish to push forward as rap
idly as is consistent with healthfulness,
then strong food, such as grain i'm its
different forms, should be iudiciously
used, with daily allowance of green food
or some "distender." while some variety
of diet should also be observed to secure
the best results. With poultry for fat
tening purposes solely, grain food should
be fed almost exclusively. and the mere
fattcning process should not take more
than ten days or two weeks. for poultry,
or in fact any kind of meat, fattened
quickly, is much more juicy. tender and
appetizing than that which has been fat
tened slowly. First get your birds up to
about the growth desired, by moderate
feeding and not forcing, and then pen
them up to fatten. Some little of the
grain can be fed cooked. but the most
part should not, and corn is the best and
should also be used in connection with
other grain foods (rye, wheat, etc. for
the laying hens, to keep up certain
degree of warmth and thus protect them
from the effects of the cold weather dur
ing winter. For the laying hens, whole
or cracked wheat is the best for princi-
pal food, with supplies of grain food
regularly. Good screenings are also
good, but in money point of view we
have found it best to buy second grade
wheat. as most screenings are so full of
dirt Am. Poultry journal.

'English farmers seem even more
anxious to emigrate than the most rest
less of Yankees. Let the grange adver-
tise our advantages, and our cheap farms
for sale. in the English agricultural
journals. Many first-class farms are for
sale in Vermont at hardly more than a
years rental of no better farms in Eng
land. There is no church rates. few
paupers, light taxes. Why not spend
little money in making this fact known
to our English brethren?''
And in connection with and addition to
this subject, let not the question of eX-
empting rundown farms from taxation,
preached at the last session of the legis-
lature, be forgotten or ignored. The
reasonable possibilities of this idea are
almost boundless, and may be easily
made actualities. 1t would be well worth
while for individual townships to abate
taxes on these farms on condition of oc-
cupancy and improvement; or towns
might even purchase few and parcel
them out at low rental, with privilege of
buying, to thrifty immigrants such as
those under discussion. Let Vermont
wake up to this idea as the Western
States have done, and in our opinion the
results would be beneficial to an aston
ishing degree. Vermont is falling behind,
agriculturally, to painful extent, and
something must be done, by somebody,
to turn the current. The press can do a
great deal in agitating the subject and
suggestions as to ways and means, and
also in setting prospective lawmakers to
thinking. Brethren, wake up.-- Lud-
low Tribune.
